    Been trying to compile my Asda delivery for next week, my fish has gone up 20p since I added it yesterday :o , now that is inflation ! :(

    Lunch, cheese & sliced onion sarnie
    Dinner, LO chicken & mushroom thingy

    Good morning everyone, 
    Dull and damp here.
    I need to do some personal admin and finalise my Tesco order but apart from that no plans apart from the usual domestics.
    Cooked a pot of tomato, rice and lentil soup yesterday so some of that will lunch. Pork steaks with rice 'n' beans and veg for dinner tonight.
  • Sunny with a moderate breeze here, good to get the washing out and dried also caught up on a few other domestic chores.
     
    Another portion of freezer stash soup for lunch with a crusty roll today.
     
    Scampi, AF chips, salad and tartare sauce tonight.

  • Gosh, it’s been a long week. Very mild again and the sun was out this afternoon, shame I was in the office…

    More leek, pea and mint soup for lunch with a cheese topped roll. Made mushroom stroganoff tonight with dried and fresh mushrooms 😋, had it with noodles and green veg.

    Hair appointment this morning in town and for once it didn't rain afterwards 🙂 I then drove out to the art shop to look for something for my sister's birthday, my brother and two of my sisters have birthdays within 10 days of each other and my late mum had hers a week later. The art shop has a great seconds section including lots of various size sketch books where the name of the art college/ school has been misprinted on the cover, she doesn't mind 🙂

    Watercress salad with tuna for lunch.  Barnsley lamb chop from the freezer for dinner with green veg and mash potatoes.  Whilst it was cooking I made a cottage pie, there's enough LO veg to go with it so I won't have to cook when I get back from volunteering tomorrow

    I have my hair appointment this morning and I was just checking the weather. It looks like I should be fine!

    Good morning everyone, 
    It's dry here just now but it looks as though it's about pour. Luckily I'm not getting my hair cut lol!
    Tesco are due later and I'll change my bedding but apart from that nothing planned.
    HM soup for lunch and usual Friday tbc for dinner I'll see what I fancy later.

    Bit later today, chiropodist first, then onto Morries for a YS mooch

    Actually Morries turned out quite productive, some YS fresh fish, YS loaf, nice sized Savoy, not YS, packet of loose tea, which seems to vanish near Christmas as the Christmas tat takes over, and small YS gammon joint which I'l freeze for Christmastime
    Double plus, the fish had extra 20% off being Fish Friday for cardholders apparently :)

    Lunch, BLT sarnie
    Dinner, YS fish & frozen oven chips

  • Very cloudy here today and doubt there is much chance of the sun getting through. I went for a brisk walk around the town and thought I need to get back into doing this regularly as I feel so much better afterwards.
     
    Tuna salad for lunch.
     
    Chicken curry, from the freezer, with rice & poppadum tonight.
     
    Just realised after Farway mentioned fish I haven't bought any fresh stuff for a bit, note to self - go by the fish shop tomorrow.

  • Another office day today, weather non descript, work ok, fairly calm.

    Yet more leek, pea and mint soup for lunch. Made chorizo and chickpea stew tonight, served with garlic bread. LO stew for the freezer.
